They probably mentioned that he was white to stop Farage inciting more riots.

Better make sure none of the animals are facing the terrace houses opposite or they will  start complaining that they are intimidated by the animals staring at their houses, like last time ha ha ha

I pay over £3k a year in rates and see fock all benefits from that large amount of money other than my bins emptied and the street lights on until around 1am when they get switched off and the street is in total darkness until the morning. Government and councils are no longer fit for purpose, they think they are above the rate payers and instead of them being there to serve us they think we are ...

Strange that some yobbo would carry a can of petrol around just to obstensively torch the car just to possibily remove fingerprints.? I ain't no sherlock but would assume police would check local cctv in petrol stations to see if anyone on film filling up a can.

Dawlish residents should not complain about this as only about 30% of the electrorate actually voted in the local elections so you get what you vote for ( or not). Expect glowing reviews from the gazette and usual claptrap from councillors about how good this has been for dawlish.

Unconfirmed reports, well it most probably would not have been the person who fell over board reporting it, so who did?

DAWLISH Bowling Club earned a hard-fought Mid Devon League victory on Saturday, July 4, against a determined Kingsbridge side. The hosts began strongly across the rinks, but the visitors refused to let the match slip away, pushing Dawlish all the way to the closing ends.

Sunny day 28 - 18

I'll probably watch it and the racing was quality last year, But there was no need to close the A379 all day, just so the public could cycle the wrong way up the Strand. That just shows how effing stupid some of these Cllrs are. Hopefully they've learnt the lesson. Effs up the number 2 bus route from 5 onward though, no doubt Cllr Foden will set up a counter petition as that's her 'thing' when it ...

American car show at Cofton. Stunning display. They have it every year.

And there was an upgrade on the system a while back that cost a pretty penny as well. The exact installation date for the Dawlish High Street (The Strand) CCTV system is not specified in the available records, but the network was described as being 8 or 10 years old and needing a full overhaul as of May 2017 . This timeline suggests the original system was likely installed in the mid-2000s . The ...

A DOZEN people have been arrested following a weekend police operation targeting dangerous drivers across South Devon. The operation, which took place in late June, saw officers make 19 traffic stops in Torquay, Dawlish, Ivybridge, Totnes, South Brent and Newton Abbot as part of efforts to reduce road casualties.

PROPOSALS to transform a derelict hotel in Dawlish into half a dozen flats have been approved by planners. Submitted by Harvard Limited, the application - reference 26/00622/FUL - sought permission to convert the former Oceans B&B Guesthouse, pictured , into six, self-contained flats.

An accident is accidentally that's the meaning and can be caused by anything. If someone runs into the road is it a careless drivers fault?

Fair play to them

Keep up-to-date with what's going on in your area. During the course of the operation officers went to Torquay, Dawlish, Ivybridge, Totnes, South Brent and Newton Abbot. Police also dealt with one offence of disqualified driving, one offence of driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and two offences of possession of cannabis.

And how can anything be termed 'landslide' FFS, when the turn-out was a pathetically low 30%. Boycott the Gazette/MDA it's a worthless, biased rag full of utter sh1te journalism, not to mentioned overpriced.

@Carer do you mean people who serve in the armed forces? Not all of them can automatically be considered heroes either. I agree the word is used incorrectly all too often. It depends if a person does an act of heroism. Harry Kane's efforts to win the football game against DR Congo have been described as heroics, which is just daft. But football is the new religion and one of the few things that ...

Of course nothing will come of it, we all know Lib Dems like Keeling and Saunders turn a blind eye to violent behaviour.

Quiet spaces?!! In Dawlish library? How can anyone study, work or read for pleasure when it is so bloody noisy all the time? It's more like a social venue for people with no respect for others and that includes some of the librarians. Quite spaces!!
